Hi, I Would Like To Know What Is The Difference Between A Rn Nurse And A Lpn Nurse?

Filed in Category LPN to RN


RN stands for registered nurse and they are in a higher position than the LPN/LVN (used interchangeably) which stands for liscensed practical/vocational nurse. RN requires more schooling, yet they are paid better than LPN. See the links below!

    The difference is that an RN has more supervisory responsibilities and they can administer all IV fluids and medications whereas an LPN/LVN can only administer certain ones.
